Here's what some of our customers have had to say about us:

"Due to my proximity to Fish Tales, I'm among the fortunate few New Yorkers who have access to perfectly fresh fish six days a week. The staff at Fish Tales is clearly dedicated (they go to the fish market every day at some unholy hour) and are always eager and enthusiastic. They've never hesitated to help me with my (sometimes bizarre) seafood needs."

-- Jim Peterson, author of Fish and Shellfish and Simply Salmon

"We've been buying fish and shellfish from Fish Tales since it opened. Whether it's one of the wide variety of wild salmon for grilling or gravlax, some clams for pasta or a whole fish for roasting or grilling, everything is of the best quality. The fish always looks beautiful, is perfectly fresh, and the store is immaculate. John, Alex and Lewis are knowledgeable, friendly and fun, which makes shopping there even better!"

-- Carol Yorke and Gerry Conn

"Fish Tales is simply the perfect store. Great fish, fair prices, a staff who are friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. So go ahead, buy some fish, share a few jokes, swap a recipe or two, and there you find one of the best reasons to live in Cobble Hill!"

--James Montalbano

"We have been buying fresh fish and seafood from Fish Tales several times a week since about 1996. Everything they sell--from sweet New Zealand clams to jumbo shrimp to Chilean sea bass to catfish--is unfailingly fresh and delicious.

The staff is friendly, gracious, and very helpful even to the point of giving excellent cooking suggestions if asked. (Who would know better than they?)

--Steve and Sandra Gertz

As a customer from the beginning, I want to wish you all well and say what an asset you have been to the neighborhood. Fresh fish, always an exotic fish to try, coupled with excellent cooking suggestions has made even our teenage daughter a fish enthusiast, not an easy thing to do.

Mazel tov, and here's to the next 8 years!

--Gus and Ellen Reichbach

Highly knowledgeable purveyors of the freshest fish and shellfish this side of the East River (maybe in all of NYC)! They carry a wide selection of specialty fish when in season, e.g. Wild Alaskan salmon, Copper River salmon, Nantucket Bay scallops, etc. Plus smoked fish, caviar, lobsters, prepared seafood dishes, soups, salads, and sauces, Japanese seasonings for sushi and sashimi, and racks of seasonings for all styles of fish cuisines. Add to that a small selection of cookbooks, how-to recipes for the taking, and fish stories galore--and they cater, too!
